ALEX LIGHT ON DIET CULTURE
But why is diet culture so pervasive and what, if anything, we can do about it? Clemmie and Alex cover a lot in this episode: diet culture, body image, how depressing normalised ‘disordered eating’ is - and how we can be looking for ways to move on from it towards of a place of greater self acceptance. The conversation also covers Nikki Grahame's tragic recent death by anorexia. Specifically what it teaches us about this hugely misrepresented illness.
